Could using something similar to Ubuntus Openchrome work?
or maybe a rewritten version for Puppy?

I've seen quite a few people with Unichrome problems, but no solutions
(at least that I understand).

Will anyone be solving this problem soon?

I am quite fond of my little Puppy Smile
but she's gonna be put down soon if I don't find something meaningful
in the next couple days... my neck and eyes are aching from looking on the internet for fixes/drivers/patches/different versions/"etc". lol

There was a guy who got his to work in Xvesa with bad graphics.
Even if I can have that I'll be very happy.

I will say little.

Fwiw, I ran pup (pretty sure with 2.15CE & maybe also 2.13 - 4) with VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP on a ASRock P4M800 board, but it was awhile ago & don't remember details (..think I used xvesa). At some point, I put in a cheap agp card to get google earth to work. MD5 checkout?Last edited by jonyo on Thu 03 Apr 2008, 13:50; edited 2 times in total

Def was considering getting a cheap card, will that bypass or run through the chipset?

Might want to hold off on the card ..pretty sure I was running ok with the unichrome (& xvesa) - could be something else is amiss (MD5? bad burn..etc) & you'll sort it out.

Not sure how pup deals with the card when it is installed, but do know that it works without xtra steps required on my setup. [mx440 8X(41B)(DDR128M)TV] Think there's a pup driver that can be added for enhanced graphics.

Just typed a nice long letter for ya'll , but this forum keeps kicking me off and telling me to login, over and over.

I set the forum's automatic timeout to two hours a long time ago because people complained that the forum dropped them too soon. Since then there haven't been many complaints like yours. The timeout may have been inadvertently changed when John Murga updated the forum software a few weeks ago. It is also possible that your ISP or your router is the cause.
